That would give more "detail" in the DAT file, but it probably wouldn't
render any better.  LDraw and LDLite have a minimum resolution of 1 pixel.
Fractional measures just cause different colors to draw on top of each
other.

In LDLite and LDraw, yes, but in POV they look GREAT.  The Striker computer
pattern I've been working on for awhile looks horrible in LDraw and LDLite,
and there is nothing I can do because of the resolution.  But you take the
same file and put it through POV, and it looks really slick!  Just go here
to my parts page and you will see what I mean:

This fact is the only reason I am holding back releasing the Striker
computer piece for inclusion in an update.

If you want more examples, try looking at the 1x2 bricks with the up/down
arrows in LDLite and LDraw against the POV versions.
